sequitur - pronounced:
nahn SEK-wi-tuhr - A Latin phrase meaning “it does not follow”;
Michael and Memory married and explored the Pacific Northwest by sail, later they restored a Dutch steel canal cruiser and spent six years wandering the canals and rivers of France and cruised the Pacific Northwest in their motor yacht. Fast-forward through a number of boats to the spring of 2006, when Michael realized a quarter century had gone by and he still hadn't sailed off. While Memory loved the idea of boating, her idea was to step ashore most evenings; he wanted to head off over the horizon. They talked seriously. She decided to go back to school for a few years and he decided to order a new sailboat. Sequitur is a Hunter 49 built in Alachua, Florida. She was ordered in June 2006, was completed in late January 2007 and trucked across the continent to Vancouver for fitting-out and commissioning.

Sequitur is the conclusion to plans set in motion in the
spring of 1981, when after eighteen years of service Michael resigned
his commission as a Canadian naval officer. His plans at the time were
to buy a sailboat, move aboard, fit it out and sail off over the edge
of the earth. He did buy a boat and he did move aboard, but in the
midst of the fit-out he met a woman.
